Portland Postmaster Changes Stir Maine Political Debate
The Maine press notes Helen Donahue becomes Forest City postmaster as debate grows over women in politics. In Bath, Col. Owen retires after three terms. Edward Hartnett named acting postmaster. Portland hosts a heated Republican state convention debating the Maine prohibitory law and primary reform, with factions pushing repeal or resubmission and calls for primary-law changes. The tone reflects party loyalty, gender roles, and electoral strategy.
